Magic Wands: August 21, 2009

-Orlando has released its new ticket sales motto. Simple, appealing, encouraging: BE MAGIC. Not "Are You Ready For This." Not "Heart & Hustle." But if it wins you a title, it wins you a title. The wallpapers look sweet though.

-21 reasons to buy NBA League Pass from DIME Magazine.

-A lot of dead-time summer talk about retiring jerseys. If you have not read the series over at 3rd Quarter Collapse, they break down the arguments for retiring Penny Hardaway, Darrell Armstrong, Nick Anderson and Shaquille O'Neal. Really good stuff.

-The most intriguing argument for Magic fans is Nick Anderson. No doubt he holds a dear place in the hearts for many Magic fans. But how good was he really. Whit Watson of Sun Sports talked with Jordi of the Serious Tip and the truth is, in 1994-95, Anderson was pretty good.

-How's this for a "Shaq vs."? Apparently O'Neal took the idea from Steve Nash and Mr. Nash was not very happy about it.

-Orlando set records with 3-point shooting last year. But they are just the poster child of a growing trend in the NBA.

-Carlos Arroyo, rap superstar.
